    CFTC Seeks Public Comments on Proposed Regulations Regarding Retail FOREX Transactions
    given in Release 5772-10 dated 13-1-2010
    Secretary
    I am delighted you are considering improving the regulation of the Forex brokers but find your
    leverage limitation of 10-to-1 too severe and respectfully suggest this should be 50-to-1.
    We find FCM Oanda Corp. an excellent Broker but feel with our money management strategy a
    minimum of 50 to 1 and anything less would result in us having to remove our money to another
    country which is not what you intended.
    Yours faithfully
    J R Brown in the U K
